"Gentleness and coolness for bare feet, born from natural materials."These stress-free zori (sandals) have a firmly woven bamboo skin texture that has led to a surge in repeat customers, with many saying, "Once you wear them, you'll be hooked!"
They combine the comfort of traditional materials with a modern, light feel. The padded straps are plump and soft, and the sole height is just right, adding to their appeal.
While traditional zori do not have left and right distinctions, the straps on these are offset to make them easier to wear, even for first-time users.
These are unisex, suitable for both women and men.
Suitable for these occasions:[For everyday use]The simple design pairs well with jeans, making them perfect for walks.
[For indoor use]As room shoes. Zori require you to grip the straps and walk using your toes, which can naturally train the muscles in your soles and offer health benefits.
[To wear with a yukata]They can be stylishly worn with a yukata instead of geta (wooden clogs).
Manufacturer: "Karube Zori"Karube Zori, located in Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture, manufactures these zori. They are the sole supplier for the footwear of sumo wrestlers, referees, and actors in period dramas.
Many manufacturers of Japanese zori uppers have gone out of business, and only a handful remain nationwide.
With the increasing difficulty in obtaining materials, the young Karube brothers, from the founding family, are delivering the "K-Bros" series to pass on cool Japanese footwear.
